Hackney New School review – watch and learn

'This is the free school ideal as Gove and his advisers meant it to be: motivated, resourceful, privileged and often successful parents creating an institution of high aspirations for the benefit not only of their own children but of others from a wide range of backgrounds. The demographics of modern Hackney, where council estates combine with new zones of high-value housing, make it fertile ground for such a project.'
